ECB's Makuch - Euro zone growth is clearly slowing

BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Euro zone growth is clearly slowing, indicators are trending down and optimism appears to be fading, European Central Bank policymaker Jozef Makuch said on Friday.

Makuch, Slovakia's central bank governor, said the relatively muted tone of minutes of the ECB's December policy meeting already reflected this assessment and the bank continues to keep all instruments on the table.
